WARNING: FUKUSHIMA 3 facing meltdown, official now | |
TM62 User ID: 997623 United States 03/14/2011 10:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is my Math screwed up? Anyone? Quoting: TM62So...1 Sievert = 1000 micro Sieverts?? If that is correct then the aforementioned 1,557.5 micro sievert = ~1.6 Sieverts?? Most meters measure these in rads/hr or Sieverts per hour. Normal is like 0.15 uSV/hr or 0.00000015 Sieverts per hour. If you ever get 1 Sievert of radiation or (100 rads) your are getting into really big trouble. Most folks see about 0.002 Sv per year... Here is a nice meter at normal levels: [link to team-titanium.com] (See previous response for credit, I didn't find it, thanks) Perhaps does your name basically end up meaning "Silver Wind"? :) What you sayin'?? TM62 in Pokemon teaches the move "Silver Wind" though that your name was because of that lol Guess not. Sorry. That would b cool if I did use that nomenclature purposely. But no, then I found that I am also a Russian anti-tank device, Silver Wind is most preferred in this case. Take care friend. |

Next, it would eat through the floor of the already-damaged containment building. At that point, the uranium, plutonium and more dangerous byproducts would start escaping into the environment. At some point in the process, the walls of the reactor vessel - 6 inches of stainless steel - would melt into a lava-like pile, slump into any remaining water on the floor, and potentially cause an explosion much bigger than the one caused by the hydrogen. Such an explosion would enhance the spread of radioactive contaminants. If the reactor core became exposed to the external environment, officials would likely began pouring cement and sand over the entire facility, as was done at the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident in the Ukraine, Peter Bradford, a former commissioner of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said in a briefing for reporters. In short, what we Americans call"The China Syndrome" |

The virus does not cause any damage online, but once it enters an industrial system, it can send a certain program out of control. Symantec says the virus reaches the servers via USB memory sticks, and warns against the careless use of such devices. Systems at power plants, gas stations and water facilities are not connected to the Internet to protect them from cyber-attacks.

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1217946 Switzerland 03/14/2011 10:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, because MOX FUEL is recycled nuclear grade weapons material, see article MOX Fuel From Weapons-Grade Plutonium Nuclear Power Industry News On February 25, 2010, the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced that it entered into an inter-agency agreement with the government owned Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in order to evaluate the use of a nuclear fuel made from surplus weapons plutonium. This announcement comes on the heels of President Obama’s recently submitted FY 2011 Budget Request, which included a 25.8% increase in funding to the NNSA. One reason for the increase in funding relates to an agreement between Russia and the United States, initially signed in 2000, known as the Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement. According to this Agreement, each country agreed to dispose of, or immobilize, 34 tons of surplus weapons-grade plutonium. Initially, both sides began dismantling nuclear weapons and simply stored the nuclear material. However, concerns on both sides began to grow regarding the ability to quickly reassemble the nuclear material into weapons should the need arise. This resulted in both sides initiating efforts to use the surplus nuclear material in nuclear reactors, which would physically tranform the nuclear material into a material that is unsuitable for use in nuclear weapons. To this end, a facility called the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility (MFFF), located at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, is currently being constructed which will convert weapons-grade plutonium into nuclear fuel that can be used in existing U.S. commercial reactor plants. |
